Cable Temperature Sensor QAP21.2

for applicatiions up to 180 °C

Use

The cable temperature sensor is used for acquiring high medium temperatures. It is
especially suited for acquiring the medium temperature in flat solar collectors.

Ordering

When ordering, please give type reference of cable temperature sensor and type refer-
ence of the accessories required.

Function

The sensor acquires the medium temperature in the solar panel with its nickel element.
The resistance value of the element changes as a function of the temperature.
It is delivered for further handling by a suitable controller.

Mechanical design

The cable temperature sensor consists of a sleeve (6 mm diameter, 50 mm long), sens-

ing element and connecting cable with ferrules.
The sensing element is accommodated in the sleeve which is flat on one side and to
which the connecting cable is attached.
The sensor is not suited for direct immersion in liquid media (without using a protection
pocket).

Accessories (not included with standard delivery)

Name Type reference

Protection pocket, Ms63, PN10, immersion length 100 mm ALT-SB100 1)
1) For other protection pocket accessories, refer to Data Sheet N1194.

Engineering notes

The permissible cable lengths are dependent on the type of controller used. For details,
refer to the Data Sheet of the relevant controller.

Mounting notes

The following mounting choices exist:

On pipes • Up to medium temperatures of 85 °C: with plastic cable tie (supplied by thirds)
• Up to medium temperatures of 220 °C: with stainless steel cable tie (supplied by
thirds)
A: ≤ 85 °C B: ≤ 220 °C

Indirect immersion With the help of a protection pocket. The inside diameter of the pocket should match
the diameter of the sensor’s sleeve (e.g. 6.1 mm).
The sensor is supplied complete with Mounting Instructions.
